He Yuejin held up the newspaper and pointed to the article: "Look at this, so inspiring."
He Yanqing snatched it over and carefully read through it: "Oh my, look, today I really got lucky. I finally see through the girlfriend my third brother has; sheâs not someone with a good temper.
Luckily, I didnât say anything offensive today, otherwise, I probably wouldnât be able to get close to her in the future."
Cui Ziqiang chimed in with a smile, "Wife, you really had a clear head today."
As he said this, He Jiahui, the eldest daughter of the second family, He Jian Country, had somehow come over: "I said so, the aunt from the third uncleâs family didnât give me any White Rabbit candies. It must be my mom who got on someoneâs nerves this time."
After saying that, she started to cry.
He Yanqing, as the aunt, even if she were a bit thick-headed, this was still her own niece, and with all the family watching, she turned to her son: "Da Ming, give Jiahui one of your candies."
Cui Daming was a bit reluctant, but Cousin Jiahui kept staring at him. He held a piece of candy, extended his hand out, pulled it back several times, and finally handed the candy over.
He then held on tightly, and only after a while did He Jiahui manage to snatch the candy from her little cousin Cui Damingâs hand, impatiently unwrapping it and popping it into her mouth.
Seeing she wasnât crying anymore, everyone in the room started chatting again.
He Yanqing read to the end of the newspaper: "So they found their biological dad?"
He Yuejin nodded: "Thatâs how itâs written there anyway."
He Yanqing patted her own head: "This future third sister-in-law is something else."
He Yuejin looked at his own sister: "Alright then, just say what you mean, donât be so mysterious."
He Yanqing pointed to the newspaper: "Look, the family that adopted her had the last name Yu, but this newspaper says Han Xinyan. Could an ordinary person change their surname that quickly?"
It has to be said, He Yanqing was really quite clever.
While the discussion here was heating up, the couple from the second family had almost started fighting: "He Jian Country, is this all youâre capable of? Canât take on outsiders, so you take it out on me."
He Jian Country was also feeling some regret now. He truly was a bit reckless, not only failing to achieve his goals but also offending both sides.
What worried him most was the fear of the deputy factory director retaliating against him, especially since yesterdayâs incident was truly embarrassing.
But thatâs how things are; what you fear is what will come.
When he went to work that afternoon, the workshop had already announced the person for the vacancy, and that person even went out of their way to thank him, though their words were filled with sarcasm.
What he didnât expect was, that yesterday that personâs relative happened to be in the restaurant eating, witnessing the scene and then using it as leverage. He Jian Country was completely excluded from the picture.
The workshop director knew he had offended the deputy factory director; how could he possibly give him the team leader position unless he didnât want his own job?
He Jian Country was so upset he couldnât stand the provocation, and he directly punched the guy.
The other guy wasnât one to take a loss either, and they got into a brawl, mainly because, accidentally, they broke a piece of machinery in the workshop, complicating the matter and escalating it to the factory headquarters.
As a result, after the deputy factory director learned about it, he fired one and demoted the other, a clear act of personal revenge using public office.
Both of them were dumbfounded.
He had just been promoted, hadnât even gotten used to the new position, and was already demoted, which was unprecedented and almost led to him being a laughingstock. As the deputy factory director put it: "Do you think you can look at my familyâs joke and use it to benefit yourself?"
The news of He Jian Countryâs termination spread throughout the factory in no time.
By the evening, the He Family received the news, and Mr. He was so angry that he got a mouthful of blisters. When the drunken He Jian Country returned, Mr. He grabbed a broom from the yard and charged at him: "Iâll beat you, you bastard!"
He had been worried to death at home, yet confronted with a drunkard, saying itâs the time to drink?
Mother He stood by, heartbroken, but didnât step in to intervene, as the trouble the second son had caused this time was too great, and he deserved the lesson.
